Photos from the Budris & Van Haren ribbon cutting

These photos are from the ribbon cutting ceremony for Budris & Van Haren, Attorneys at Law. There was an impressive turnout of Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce members; as well as The Mayor and about five city council members. The law firm of Budris & Van Haren specializes in both Criminal and Family Law. If you have a friend that needs help, don’t get involved.

I am donating the watermark to the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation, to bring awareness to this organization which is the only one helping those with Rheumatoid Autoimmune Disease (RAD, otherwise known as Rheumatoid Arthritis/RA); and as part of my promise to Tanya. Read more…

April Networking at Noon at The Crest

Tuesday was the Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce’s April Networking at Noon; this time being held at The Crest on Cabrillo in downtown Torrance. The monthly Networking at Noon is a great way for Chamber members to meet informally over a [usually] nice lunch, exchange business cards and give a 30 second introduction to remind people what service their business provides. It is also an opportunity for the host restaurant to showcase their establishment. Unfortunately, I think The Crest proved to be a pretty poor place to try and conduct a meeting. Sharing an area with regular bar customers was just too noisy; and I know I was not alone in not being able to hear most of what was said. Be that as it may, we were able to meet with a few people that we met at earlier functions and it is becoming obvious that we are being recognized and business will be done. As I have been attending trade shows for close to 10 years, I have learned that networking opportunities are what you make of them.

Since the networking function was held on Tanya’s birthday, I have added the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation’s watermark to the photos as it is Tanya’s favorite charity. Read more…

Easter at Dad’s 2012

This Easter we went over to my dad’s to have dinner with a few siblings, assorted relatives and friends of my dad. I did not count, but I was told 14 or 15 of us were there. There was good food and wine and fellowship. I am posting these photos because I know the relatives can see them all and to help bring awareness to the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation which is the only organization out there helping those suffering from this deadly disease. Did you know Rheumatoid Autoimmune Disease (RAD), aka Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), can kill the victim? No money is being spent on research, if you can help, please contact the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation. Read more…
